On her first turn, Reisen will summon Inaba Vanguards and Inaba Mages, which are rather dangerous if you let them live. Fortunately, both Reisen and her underlings are reduced to no gauge after summoning, the health of her minions is quite low (18,000 for the Vanguards, 12,000 for the Mages) and they're fully vulnerable to debuffs. Komachi's Narrow Confines of Avici and several high power multi-target spells like Asteroid Belt and Fantasy Seal should be able to disable and destroy the lesser enemies before they even get a chance to act. The other benefit of this is that Reisen will usually spend another turn summoning them again, whilst taking notable damage from any multi-target spells used. If you can keep up the pattern of killing her minions before they get a chance to act, the only major danger comes from Reisen's Mind Starmine, which can be strong enough to OHKO your party after she boosts herself with Grand Patriot's Elixir and the stat debuffs her other spells inflict. Keep a character or two with high MND and MYS resistance out while she's boosted and you should be able to survive long enough to finish her.

There is an alternate way to challenge this battle however. Normally, completing this battle will earn you Machoke's Bracelets (dropped by the Vanguards) and Balls of Lightning (dropped by the Mages). However, killing Reisen before killing more than two of her supporters will allow you to get Reisen's drop, a Getitup V, which provides +30% to all stats and is much more useful than the other drops. Doing so results in a far harder battle, however, as due to the way the drops system works, if you kill too many of Reisen's subordinates before her, their drops will be the ones recieved. It's up to you if you want to grind some more and go for this, as it's certainly not necessary.
